Is it easy to play with curry-at least Luoni doesn’t think so.

“I am proud that I can keep up with Curry’s playing rhythm. In the years when I first came, I felt that I couldn’t keep up with it at all.” After defeating the Clippers, Rooney said in an interview in the dressing room.

Luni was the first round show from UCLA in 2015. When he passed the ball to him in Curry, he could not read the attack at all and did not know where he should stand. Playing with Warrior’s Curry makes Luoni look like a perk. Keep spreading, even if he can keep up with the rhythm, the uncertainty of the competition and the lack of rhythm make it more difficult for him to complete the tactics.

The attack options after Curry block removal are as many as a cow’s hair. Dry pull three points. The middle distance after fengshui ball is shot, breaking through the basket, assisting, pulling to downtown to attract bag clip, getting rid of bag clip, and passing to the players who are obedient, it is also an option to bypass the cover and return to the position before the shield is removed, even to refuse the cover. These choices made Luoni completely confused.

Sometimes he either went down too early or blocked Curry’s route, and he never knew when the ball would pass. When Curry passed it to him, Luoni didn’t even know where the ball came from.

“Curry may pass the ball behind his head. Sometimes he will behind-the-back pass. He will even look at you first, and then pass the ball when he looks at you for the third time. These things can’t be learned from books. Some passes really appear out of thin air. I used to be helpless. Once you make mistakes, you will be replaced immediately.” Rooney said.

So Rooney found his assistant coach, Chris DeMarco, and trained his skills of blocking and dismantling. They spent countless hours in the stadium, only two of them. DeMarco gave various random passes to Luni through various angles and dimensions, thus making Luni ready to receive the passes from Curry at any time.

In the third season, Rooney said he began to know how to play with Curry. By the fourth year, he had been handy. This year was the eighth year of his career. His understanding of playing with Curry had reached the professor level.

“When I mastered playing with curry, I felt I got a master’s degree. When other people also like to play with me, I will know that I have succeeded.”

At the beginning of the season, the problem of Warriors was how many people could figure out how to play with Curry. Because knowing playing with Curry is essentially understanding the basketball system of warriors. He is the system itself. The team has returned to 50% of the 7 wins in the past 10 games (the article was published yesterday), and has played games of their style in recent times.

However, playing with Curry is like a complicated dance, which is not just a simple dance, but more like a fox dance. It needs to follow Curry’s rhythm. Dream chasing and clay are the architects of the system. Dream chasing is like lubricant, while Clay is the end point. Rooney has understood the system through a long term. Wikins scored 30 points from the new season on Wednesday and has instinctively adapted to the system.

When Curry is on the court, it can evolve from a simple block and split cooperation to a hand-in-hand cooperation and finally ends with a receive the ball shot after his cover. Or start with Curry off the ball and finally create opportunities for singles.

Since Curry became the sun of the warrior’s attack system, everyone has to work around him, because it has gravity that can affect the opponent’s defense strategy. Other people’s job is to understand the special features of the library and use the gravity of the library to seize the opportunity to attack.

“This is very interesting. When you play against other teams, the first thing your opponent says is, ‘how can curry keep running. ‘I thought to myself,’ I know, this is quite interesting. ‘Because no one plays like this.” Said chasing dreams.

When the remaining four people who started the Warriors instinctively knew how to play with curry, it was not surprising that the five people who started the Warriors became the most effective five in the league. In the 230 minutes they played together, kuchyutangkou Lu scored 125 points, 59 more than the second place (Nuggets five-member group). The warrior starter has the highest net efficiency value, which can beat the opponent by 25.9 points per hundred rounds, and their offensive efficiency is as high as 131.3 (131.3 points per hundred rounds). The Nuggets starter is also the second, but they are only 119.0.

Curry’s offensive performance this season reached a new height. Five months after winning FMVP, he was only four months away from the age of 35. He still played his greatest offensive performance. The next success of Warriors depends on how many people in the lineup can fully adapt to Curry’s style of play.

“Playing with Curry has always been a learning process, because he is not like any player on the Earth. He broke down like others, but once he entered the ball-free state, he became Reggie Miller. Most dominant players in the league need to hold the ball. If they play without a ball, they will not be so threatening, and they will become shooters. Curry can give consideration to both, which makes you have to pay attention to him all the time. Generally speaking, a player needs several months to figure out how to play with Curry. But once they understand, you can directly let him in rotation. As long as you work with curry, you can get all kinds of incredible super seats.” Cole said.

The second-grade rookie cuminga is the best verification. He said it is difficult to play with curry, but it is also very simple. This sounds contradictory, but his point of view was answered.

Many things sound difficult, but they are actually very simple, because they are all small details. For example, in the middle of the fourth quarter of the victory against the Jazz, the Warriors successfully defended, Green led the fast attack, Curry ran to the right downtown, and the last vacant three points hit. The arrival of this opportunity was also thanks to Poole’s attraction in front of the defense, because he was not prepared to ask for the ball, but rushed down to attract the attention of Curry defenders. Jazz guard Malik Beasley instinctively went to help defend the inside line. This small detail gave Curry enough space. After three points, Green immediately indicated Poole and recognized his contribution.

The difficulty of really playing with Curry lies in knowing the timing and where you should be, because everything happening on the court is random. Everything is about reading defense and responding. When to cover him, when to pass him, or when to open the space for Curry to perform personally. After an adaptation period, this is not a random event, but an instinctive reaction.

“Those guys who can understand quickly obviously have a higher basketball IQ. See the situation on the field clearly and make the right decision quickly. This is not only the basic skill of basketball, but everything happens in one round. How to cover, how to cut in at the right time, and be decisive. When you are just a transfer station, how to pass the ball quickly? If you can do all this, there will always be someone in the vacancy. Most of the time it’s me, but sometimes it’s someone else.” Curry said.

Because Rooney mastered such technology, Cole could safely split Curry and dream chasing, and they were both present at the same time for most of the past time. The ideal situation is to match dreams with the 36 minutes in the library, which can maximize the effect of the library. Green is not only the lubricant of the offensive end, but also the gate of the defensive end. The successful defense of warriors can make Curry’s attack play a greater role. But Cole chose to let Green lead the second team and let him top the second and fourth sections during Curry’s rest, which made the struggling second team more stable. Rooney can do most of the things green can do, so that the team will not lose a lot of points when the library is unpacked.

Green said he learned early, and Curry was an excellent player in the 2012-13 season. So Green decided to be an excellent defender. It has become a habit for him to cover Curry randomly. Sometimes he can directly take away the defender of the other party. He has mastered all kinds of cover angles and can respond in time after cover.

During Mark Jackson’s coaching period, blocking and dismantling were the basis of warrior attack. After Cole arrived, the cooperation of library Chase was further improved. When Curry played better and better, the defense on the opposite side was more radical, and the subsequent choice began with that simple cover. The most famous picture is that dream chasing often becomes the organizer of four dozen three after being bag clip in Curry.

As the dream Chase said, he perfectly matches Curry’s skill pack. Now Curry has become a school of its own, but one of the truths is still the same as what was discovered in the early stage of chasing dreams.

“If you can provide curry with a high-quality cover, then you can get a big vacancy.” Cuminga said.

Many people wonder why Anthony Lamb, the third-grade flanking two-way contract player, can get so much playing time. Because he knew how to play with Curry and knew the Warrior system.

Lamb said he mastered the system when watching the 2022 playoffs of warriors. He knew the wisdom of setting cover for the library long before. A high-quality cover can help the library bring a space of three points. He has understood the importance of space and how to take away his defenders. Lamb knew that he would adapt to Warriors, because Warriors played reasonably. He played for 20.1 minutes on average this season because his previous understanding was right.

When playing the Clippers, one of Lamb’s passes even surprised Curry. The curry was passed to Poole on the flank during the end of the corner, and then the latter was immediately thrown to lamb on the bottom corner. While Lamb was in the vacant position at this time, Curry thought he would choose to take the shot. As a result, Lamb handed over one step to Curry within three point line, blocking Moses Brown, the nearest defender in Curry. Finally, Curry hit three points.

“Once you have mastered it, you will not forget it. Once you understand, the whole game will open up. Because everyone will read correctly, Curry can turn on his switch at any time, but he will still make the right choice, so we can get a vacancy.” Lamb said.

One of the key elements of the “understanding” system is trust, which may also be the most difficult for young players to master.

“No matter what happens in the game, you must trust the whole process. The final tactics will definitely be able to be played out, just like the coach designed, everyone can find the rhythm of the attacking end. Because the way I play, everything is to create enough space, whether for me or for others. You must choose to believe that you cannot force an attack, and everything will appear naturally.” Curry said.

For players like lamb and dream chasing, they are willing to do anything on the court, so it is easy to learn. But for the first round show and those players who want to play well in the league immediately, or those who want to get a big contract, they think it may sacrifice their own interests, and the report did not meet their expectations.

First of all, they should learn to transfer the ball, learn to cover, learn to break through to attract defense, learn to give up those goals that they think they will score, and learn to pass even if they are sure to throw up the basket when they learn to break.

“I can understand their pain. Most of the time when you receive the ball, you are clearly in the vacant position, and you think, ‘I should throw. But don’t vote. Curry will cover it. You ‘d better wait a second to pass it to him at the bottom corner. In this way, the attack will work. In return, Curry will find you and let you win the dunk. You need to find a balance. Instead of choosing a good shot, you need to find a better shot.” Rooney said.
